FAQs
What is a Maslin pan used for?
A Maslin pan is specifically designed for boiling and reducing mixtures when making preserves like jam, chutney, marmalade, or jelly. Its wide, shallow shape promotes faster, more even evaporation.
Is this pan suitable for induction cooktops?
Yes, this Maslin Jam Pan is induction ready and compatible with induction, gas, and electric cooktops.
How do I clean the jam pan?
The pan has a seamless finish and is easy to clean. You can wash it by hand with warm, soapy water or place it in the dishwasher.
What is the capacity of the pan?
The pan has a capacity of 8.5 litres.
Can I use this for small batches of jam?
While possible, the pan's large 8.5-litre capacity is most effective for medium to large batches. For very small quantities, you might find a smaller pan offers better efficiency in evaporation and reduction.
Does the handle get hot?
The pan features a robust stainless steel handle designed for a secure grip. While it can become warm, it is generally designed to remain manageable during use, but caution is always advised when handling hot cookware.
What are the dimensions of the pan?
The pan has a diameter of 30 cm and a height of 17 cm.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the bottom.
Ensure sufficient liquid is present during initial heating and stir frequently, especially as the mixture thickens. If residue remains after cooking, soak the pan in warm water before cleaning.
Uneven heating.
Verify that the stovetop burner is sized correctly to cover the majority of the pan's base. Ensure the cooktop itself is level.
Spout is dripping when pouring.
Ensure the jam or preserve is not excessively thick or congealed at the spout opening. A gentle tilt and slight stirring can help maintain a smooth flow.
Discoloration on stainless steel.
This is often 'heat tint' and is a normal reaction of stainless steel to heat. It is harmless and can usually be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water.
